D. 8%
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let price at A = 100xAfter
Then price at B = 85x → 15%
Discount
According to the question,
100x - (85x + 150) = 150
15x = 300
x = 20
Price at A = 100 × 20 = 2000
Price at B including travelling charges
= 85x = 150
= 85 × 20 + 150
= 1700 + 150
= 1850
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Percentage profit }} \cr & = \frac{{2000 - 1850}}{{2000}} \times 100 \cr & = \frac{{150}}{{2000}} \times 100 \cr & = 7.5\% \cr} $$
